Hey, what happened to getting 4?! I like that thought process.

Nice looking boat!

haha, this is an x-32 (baby brother to the x-40's from the I-shares races.. youtube it if you haven't seen then race)

i think you could buy 10 new Nacra-20's for the cost of this catamaran.

well part of the design of this cat was to make shipping them easier, and this cat can fit 3 per shipping container, so yes that seems to make more sense to me.

Around here, you need three hulls to make a race. By purchasing four boats, you are going to have a start, there will always be one that doesn't show up. I gotta win the lottery

I don't like the high $$ tag of the carbon multi-hulls and will sail the 1998 Nacra 6.0NA a bit longer til one comes within my $$ range (probably be too old).
